Default Hey Frank B

I had the Precision (Starwind, but same designer).
It was a lovely little boat and it performed very well, including coastal
sailing. But it was a real bear to rig, especially by myself. Eventually I
just bit the bullet and got a slip on Long Beach Island. That was sweet in
some ways but expensive and had it's own compromises.
I like the idea of being able to trailer but I'd like bigger than 19 and
easier rigging than Precision (like Mac's masting idea only not a Mac).
Do you think $3,000 is pushing it a little high? I sold my Precision for
$2,500 with some nice options.

Would you consider this boat?

We had one for years, and for the dual purposes of trailerability &
comfort, I never saw any boat to beat it. With a decent set of sails,
these boats sail quite well too.

It doesn't have the looks of the Precision but it's a lot more practical
in many ways. I could rig & launch this boat by myself in less than 15
minutes; and we took it for many a nice week-long cruise between
Massachusetts & Georgia.
